I disagree, I do think that they serve the same purpose, defense of life, liberty, and property from any threat. I do think that not only is it relevant today, it is necessary for us to understand the importance and to be properly trained and prepared. It's not to say that we should fly off at the littlest of things; but you cannot be lax in your duty and responsibilities to the Republic either. Free is a low entropy state, it necessitates continual work merely to maintain, even more to improve. If you don't put in the work at all, it WILL degrade; without doubt, without exception. It's essentially physics.
I think I can, and done just that without a weapon. I also think a weapon is too often used to ignore good sense. However, I have not said completely ban all weapons. Just that some restriction is not the apocalypse.
